Creation: Created in 1922 as new primary routing, running from WV 8 (now abandoned US 52 routing) Mountain View north via Logan to end at WV 3 (now US 60) Huntington. This is the only WV 10.
Adjustments: Between 1929-31, WV 10 was rerouted at Logan to replace WV 67 southeast via Pineville to end at US 19-21 (now CR 19/33-19/29 jct) Glenwood near Princeton. The old routing south to Mountain View became part of WV 2 (now WV 44).

By 1935, WV 10 was moved to the Water St crossing into Logan. The original route used Memorial Hospital Rd.
Between 1936-37, WV 10 was removed from CR 10/23 in the Alpoca/Bud area southeast of Mullens.
In 1938, WVDOH studied requesting replacing all of WV 10 with an unspecified US route number. It is unclear if they formally requested this or not but it obviously did not happen.
Between 1938-46, WV 10 was removed from CR 10/11 at Melissa.
In 1951 (bridge date), WV 10 was rerouted in Logan to use its current Logan Blvd crossing and Logan Blvd routing skirting central Logan. The old route had been using Water St, Main St, then cut over to Straton east out of town.
Between 1951-56, WV 10 was rerouted at Melissa to head north to US 60 near Barboursville, replacing CR 33 (although this had been added to the state highway system in 1934 per the WVDOT Annual Report). The old route to Huntington became WV 10 ALT. WV 10 may have been signed with US 60 back to Downtown Huntington (shown on Topo maps).
Between 1967-70, WV 10 was rerouted at Melissa again, replacing WV 10 ALT back to Huntington as it originally had done. The old route to US 60 Barboursville became the new WV 10 ALT.

In 1979 (bridge date), WV 10 was rerouted in West Hamlin across a new Guyandotte River Bridge. The old route used Sheridan to Shelton St across the river.
